For all the talk of bias in selection and people not liking Joe, it was great to watch this match in a packed limerick pub, filled with fans in green jerseys signing their hearts out when the final whistle was blown.
Good to see differences being left aside when it comes to the national team.

Re: Ireland - Six Nations Champions 2014
It was effective but England had a license to bring it down or come in from the side without penalty on all but one occasion. Perhaps an analysis of the refereeing of Joubert, particularly at Twickenham led to the decision not over-rely on it?outcast eddie wrote:Where was the Irish maul in Twickenham?TerenureJim wrote:The limits of the coach?

And turned a team in the run for the wooden spoon and demolished by Italy and Scotland last year into the 6 nations champions by building on the successes at provincial level rather than criticising it....

I liked the way the players waited for the penalty and it slowly dawned one wasn't going to be given.fourthirtythree wrote:

going by Joe's coaching stats we have to win 6 nations or world cup next year as he now wins a major trophy every year
